Denis Haračić

is a visual artist currently based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He primarily uses combined techniques of printmaking, drawing, painting and digital installation. Haračić tends to question social structures and identity from both the individual and our group perspective. His seemingly archaic work is based on existential and archetypal principles drawn from an intimate space, moving towards a universal message of bare and exposed humanity. The ideas Haračić is working on manifest them-selves in anthropomorphic depictions of psychological situations trapped between numb contemplation and monstrous dehumanization.
